Ghost in the Machine Day: Why Your Printer Hates You More Than Your Ex Ever Did
Description
We celebrated Ghost in the Machine Day by blaming our printers for being possessed (instead of just terrible), then pivoted to whether jerky counts as a personality trait and why insurance companies are basically legalized bookies bleeding us dry—all before a six-year-old stole the show and demanded ice cream on air.
Participants
Show Notes
Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell kicked off Friday morning on 100.3 KROCK, Fort Walton Beach's classic rock station, nursing the Emerald Coast through another week with a half-hour Freebird extension — because why not let Skynyrd do the heavy lifting? The hosts pondered the existential luxury of sleeping in (but didn't), debated assembling an entire hour from "Stairway to Heaven," "Bohemian Rhapsody," and a side of Pink Floyd, and reminded us all that printers are possessed, not broken.
Today's national holidays included Ghost in the Machine Day (when your Wi-Fi dies and you blame the paranormal instead of Comcast), Magic Day (performative enchantment scheduled between brunch and doom-scrolling), National Jerky Day (dehydrated meat as a personality trait), and Superman Day (celebrating a guy in his underwear who still makes the rest of us look underdressed). Highs in the upper 80s, sunshine, and the kind of muggy that makes you question your life choices — perfect weather for tonight's America 250 Drone Show at the Rigdon Center (formerly the fairgrounds, currently impossible to find on Google Maps). Gates open at 7 p.m., show starts at 8:45, and Fort Walton Beach Police Chief Beige will be there in colonial attire, probably not arresting anyone. Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas, and OutKast Sushi in Miramar Beach keep this circus funded, and we're grateful for it.
We also dissected the FHSAA's baffling new Open Division playoff system (Baker versus St. John's — what could go wrong?), learned that the average American household has a whopping $8,000 in the bank (Gen X is supporting everyone from their 20-something kids to their 70-something parents while insurance companies play bookie), and welcomed six-year-old Declan Jake into the studio to record a commercial and inadvertently roast his mom for forgetting his goggles. Ask Uncle Bobby advised an overwhelmed listener to double-book everything and become a "thrilling disaster with a full itinerary" — because boundaries are for quitters. Tonight: drones, patriotic music, and maybe a T-shirt cannon (permit status unclear). We'll see you out there, Emerald Coast.
Transcript
(00:00) Here's today's B Team Redux. The classic rock station is 100.3 KROCK, Skinnerd and Freebird. Y'all should be awake by now after that song. Yeah. 30 minutes, we moved the alarm back this morning. I know, it was kind of nice to take a little break. (00:15) It was. Why did we get here still at the same time? I know, right? We could have slept in another half an hour or so. Yeah, yeah, you know what? We should line up Freebird, Stairway to Heaven, and Bohemian Rhapsody, and basically that's an entire hour right there. (00:32) Yeah, we can throw in an Indicata DeVita. And there you go. Yeah, that's the show. That's the show. See you Monday. And then just Pink Floyd anything. That's true. Yeah, I don't think Pink Floyd recorded anything under seven minutes. And if you ever bought one of their albums, there was never, I mean, they would put song titles, but it just literally played. (00:54) Continuous. Yeah. It's the B Team Morning Show. Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell on a Friday. That's right, the weekend just about here. We've got a beautiful weekend in store. Highs in the upper 80s, lots of sunshine. All the details on that coming up in just a bit. (01:11) Plus Dan Diamond has local news later on in the hour. But the B Team Morning Show brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas, and Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. And as we always like to open the show with a look at the national holidays today, Bobby, we start with Ghost in the Machine Day. (01:30) Ah, yeah, this is when like your printer jams or your Wi-Fi dies and, you know, everyone pretends it's paranormal instead of incompetence. I hate printers. I hate printers. Ghost in the Machine Day is that special little holiday where we all pretend our gadgets aren't possessed. (01:45) Just glitchy. And we light a candle for the forgotten gods of firmware, cursed updates, and passwords we swear we never change. Look, you reboot everything like it's a cleansing ritual, apologize to your router like it can hear you, and make offerings in the form of closing tabs you didn't open. (02:03) Sure, buddy. Yeah, let's go with that. Look, the point is, it's not to fix the problem. It's to admit out loud that you don't run your technology. Your technology tolerates you. So take the day, nod respectfully at the gremlins and the circuitry, and maybe, just, just maybe, stop plugging your whole personality into an app that crashes twice a week. (02:31) Ghost in the Machine Day. I think that's something everybody can relate to. I would think so. It's the B Team Morning Show on a Friday with the Guess Who? No time. The Classic Rock Station is 100.3k rock. (02:46) Good morning. ♪ Sunday ♪ YMT Summertime Girls on 100.3k rock, the Classic Rock Station. It's the B Team Morning Show. Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell. Speaking of summertime, today is the Summer Fair at Mid-South Bank. (03:04) From noon until three, Lynn Fair and her team over there having a fun, community, family-friendly event from noon to three, where they're gonna have lunch provided free of charge. Nachos, hot dogs, can't go wrong with that. Free frozen custard and ice cream from Culver's. (03:23) Prizes, carnival games, all sorts of fun stuff. And an opportunity for the kids to learn some good saving habits. Attendees who open or deposit into a child savings account will be entered into a drawing to win a $50 deposit. (03:38) And new accounts will receive a free piggy bank as part of the celebration as well. We've got the details for you online at thebteamshow.com. So it's like magic, Bobby. Yeah. Because it's Magic Day. Oh yeah, this is when grown adults pretend the universe is whimsical and act shocked that their rent still isn't paid by the fairy dust. (03:59) God, I wish that mortgage note would get paid every day by fairy dust. Oh, Magic Day is the annual group hallucination where grown adults wake up and decide reality's negotiable and then spend the next 24 hours hunting for wonder like it's a missing set of keys and the rent isn't due. (04:16) Look, people wear sparkly optimism, say things like anything can happen and treat basic coincidence as proof the universe has a customer service department. Look, there are rituals, charms, wishes, little acts of performative awe, but nothing says spiritual renewal like scheduling enchantment between brunch and doom scrolling. (04:37) So sure, it's ridiculous. But also the one day everybody agrees to leave the cynicism on the porch right before they drag it back inside with muddy boots. Magic Day, how about that? There you go. That's your second of four national holidays revealed this morning. (04:55) We're gonna take a break. It's the B Team Morning Show. Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell brought to you by Stripes Pub and Grill in Navarre as well as Okaloosa Gas at Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. A quick break and a look at your marine forecast for those of you heading out on the water is next on 100.3 KROCK. (05:12) ♪ Stand by for more rock ♪ 100.3 KROCK. Billy Idol, White Wedding. Again, just another racist song. I know, gosh. How did they get away with it? It's Friday morning. The B Team Morning Show is on the air. (05:29) Tonight is the drone show out at the fairgrounds. Currently, these days known as the Rigdon Center. But if you try to look up the fairgrounds or the Rigdon Center, you won't find either on Google Maps, right? So you just need to know where you're going. (05:46) Look up the Okaloosa County Courthouse and you'll know it's right next door to that. Yeah, that's the easiest way to tell you. But the field behind the fairgrounds buildings will open at 7 p.m. for parking and tailgating. We'd encourage you to come on out. Bobby and I will be out there broadcasting live and then of course here on 100.3 KROCK at 8.45 when the drone show begins. (06:08) We've got 20 minutes of patriotic music synced up with the drone show to start airing. So looking forward to it. It's free and open to the public tonight out at the Rigdon Center. And if you'd like to hear live music or visit some food trucks beforehand, on the other side, right next door to the Rigdon Center is the new Freedom Tech Center development. (06:27) And at Freedom Tech Center, they have got live music and food trucks in the park tonight starting at seven. So don't miss out on that. Well, Bobby, we've got a couple more National Days to get to. It's National Jerky Day. Yeah, because we needed a holiday to celebrate meat that's been overworked, underloved and still somehow cost 12 bucks a bag. (06:49) Yeah, why is that? Hey, National Jerky Day is that sacred moment on the calendar where we pretend dehydrated meat is a personality trait and not just survival food with better marketing. Yeah, look, it's a salute to salt, smoke and the kind of jaw work that makes you question every dental decision you've ever made. (07:07) See, people will call it a snack holiday, but let's be honest. It's an excuse to carry protein in your pocket and feel morally superior about it. So stick around. Because once you start celebrating meat that's been dried like a bad idea in the sun, well, the rest of the choices get real interesting. (07:25) It's jerky day. Here's a Slim Jim. You gotta snap into it. Did you do the commercials? Yeah. Snap into it, Slim Jim. 100.3 KROCK, the Classic Rock Station. It's the BT Morning Show. (07:40) Brian Adams in cuts like a knife. Yeah, it's Friday, folks. The weekend just about here. We've got a lot going on this weekend. And it all starts tonight out at the Rigdon Center with the Drone Show. (07:57) America 250 come out and celebrate America's 250th milestone birthday at the Rigdon Center, formerly known as the Fairgrounds. Free and open to the public. Drone show starts at 8.45. Parking in the field behind the Fairgrounds starts at seven o'clock. (08:12) So bring out the lawn chairs and get set up. So you have the America 250 Gala that's happening inside. Right, which is a paid event. Right, and then you've got the America 250 that's in the back lot. That's right, yeah. (08:28) Where we get to go. Where we're tailgating. That's right, where they talk about America. America? You know, things like God, Jesus, and Mama. And the shrimp and business. And Bush Light. (08:43) You want me to bring a case of Bush Light for you? I think we need to have some ham sandwiches, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. And a can. That's right, that's right. Liquefied. Ham sammies, that's what we call them. (08:59) Well, Bobby, today, on the National Day calendar, you've got a day for me. Superman Day. Yeah, I don't know about it, it's for you. But, well, I mean, when you think about it, we are celebrating a guy who wears his underwear over his pants. Oh, well, you'd have to wear underwear to do that. (09:17) I don't know how he does it. He still makes the rest of us look underdressed, but whatever. Hey, look, Superman Day is that annual moment when grown adults pretend a guy in tights and good intentions is the moral compass that we totally follow the other 364 days. Yeah, it's a celebration of truth, justice, and the eternal fantasy that problems can be solved by showing up on time, standing up straight, and not tweeting through your feelings. (09:41) Look, people re-watch movies, buy merch, argue about which actor gets it, and briefly consider being decent before remembering they have errands. So it's absurd, sure. But it's also a neat little reminder that hope sells, capes bill, and everybody wants to believe. (10:00) Their best self is only one dramatic entrance away. Isn't that sweet? Superman Day. Alright, we're coming up on the 7 o'clock hour. Dan Diamond has local news moments away. Plus, ask Uncle Bobby about an hour from now. (10:17) Your final piece of advice before we head into the weekend is coming up in just a bit on the B Team Morning Show with 100.3 KROCK. There's more here than meets the ear. 100.3 KROCK. It's a beautiful Friday morning here on Northwest Florida's Emerald Coast. (10:35) 75 degrees and fair skies at the moment. A high today of 91. Good morning, everybody, and happy Friday to you. Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell. The B Team Morning Show is on the air. And it is a beautiful morning, but there's not a whole lot of local news to get to. (10:55) Yeah, crackheads. It's time for you to do something. Yeah. Get out there and get busy. Make your night moves. Give us something to chat about on Monday. That's right. We need a story. That's right. We report the news. You make the news. (11:12) That's how this works. Help a fella out. B Team Morning Show brought to you by our friends at Stripes Pub and Grill in Navarre, as well as Okaloosa Gas and Outkast Sushi in Miramar Beach. Of course, tonight, the big drone show out at the Rigdon Center. (11:31) That is true. Yeah. The old fairgrounds here in Fort Walton Beach. Going to be home to a free and open to the public drone show to celebrate America 250 and the upcoming 4th of July holiday. But the drone show is tonight, 8.45 p.m. (11:47) And gates and parking will open at 7 o'clock, so bring out your lawn chairs. There you go. Words are hard. Yeah. Well, I was trying to think of another word for gate, because it's really not... (12:02) It's not a door. It's not a door. And you don't need a ticket for it. Right. So come on in and join the fun. Should be a lot of fun tonight. I believe that I talked to Mitzi Henley yesterday, and apparently Mayor Nick Allegretto wants to come over and chat with us on the air tonight, as well. (12:23) And he's going to be in some type of colonial getup and costume, so we will see. But, yeah, looking forward to that. Should be a lot of fun tonight. Now, I believe they still have some tickets on sale for tonight's gala that's inside the Fairgrounds buildings there. (12:43) They were getting everything all set up yesterday, and the gala is set to start at 6 o'clock this evening. So if you'd like to buy tickets, we've got the link to get those tickets by clicking on the events tab at our website, thebteamshow.com. (13:02) So we're going to keep on digging and poking and prodding for local stuff. I know we're two months out from the start of high school football, and the FHSAA has approved Open Division playoff formats for this football season. (13:19) And actually across 11 different high school sports. So we'll dig into that a little bit. Plus, we're going to talk about today's depressing news. How much money Americans have, or lack thereof, in the bank. Yeah, well, it's lack thereof for this guy. (13:35) So we're going to dig into all that here in just a little bit. Plus, ask Uncle Bobby on the way in a half an hour or so. It's Hawaiian Shirt Friday, for those of us that remember. You're dead to me. 100.3 KROCK. (13:52) You see it all around you. The good, the love, and you're all bad. 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station war and lowrider on a Friday morning. It's the B Team Morning Show. (14:08) Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell with Fort Walton's top cop, Chief Beige, joining us in studio this morning. And Bobby's getting them all situated and fixed up live on the spot. How are you, Chief? Great. As an honorary B Team member, it's always an honor to be here. (14:26) Yeah, you've got the right last name. I do. Well, he doesn't. First name, Bobby. That'll absolutely not keep us out of jail. Can we change his name to Bobby Burell? Bobby Burell. Hey, Bobby, I can give you a warning. I can say, warning, you're going to jail. (14:42) Yeah, that's right. That's about how those warnings come. Hey, you know you're going to jail, right? Hey, at least you got a cot for the night. That's true. That's true. I heard the food's pretty good. Yeah, what do you think of the food? I've never been there. (14:58) You've got to travel north to Crestview for that, right? Yeah, it's catered by the same people that do the convention center, so it can't be too bad. That's true. Is that Aramark? Yeah. Is that really true? Yeah. Wow. (15:13) You've got to pay attention, Schuyler. Do you think that they play the Lunch Lady song? I think so. Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, down at Lunch Ladyland? Yeah, I bet they do. I bet they do. Well, Chief, you're dropping by because you're going over on Sister Station 94.3 FTW with Dan Diamond, but you were stopping by because you heard that we're going to be out at the drone show tonight. (15:34) Correct. So you're going to have a busy night ahead. You've got staff out there tonight, right? We will. Us and the Sheriff's Office are going to work the event jointly, and we ask everybody when they come there, come there for a good time, enjoy it. (15:49) There's a gala that goes on first that I believe starts at 6 o'clock. Now, that's a paid event. That's a paid event for the gala. And then when the gala ends, the drone show will start probably about 8.30 when it gets dark outside, and the drone show will be at the back of the fairgrounds where the amusement rides and the Midway and everything is at the fairgrounds. (16:12) So we're going to ask, and we'll have officers and deputies there to help direct people to it. We're going to ask everybody when they come in to go to the very back of the fairgrounds, and we're going to actually park cars where the Midway rides and stuff usually go. Because the drone show will be on that far, far west corner by kind of where the new development is for Freedom Beacon. (16:32) Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's where the drones will be shot. At the east side of the Midway is where we're going to park cars. So if you want to stay in your car and watch the drone and listen to you guys as you commentate during the drone show, you're more than welcome to stay in your car. (16:47) We'll have a spectator area that if you want to bring a blanket or a lounge chair and set up in the spectator area, there'll be a spectator area. We'll start filling up the fairgrounds. Then there's an overflow lot where they generally park for the fair outside the fence in the back corner. (17:04) We'll fill up that area. And if need be, we'll go to the golf course, and they'll shuttle people back from the golf course. So you should be able to get great parking, especially if you come earlier. We're asking people if they're coming for the drone show, maybe come about 7, 7.30, about an hour before the drone show. (17:19) And then listen to you guys on the radio. Yeah. And if people are concerned about, well, how do we know where to turn? Well, for your last court appearance. Same place. Just keep going straight. Don't turn left to the courthouse. Right. Just keep going straight. (17:34) Just like if you're going to go to the fair or anything else. We had a construction junction out there. It's where you park for construction junction. So it's just if you get there early enough, you'll be able to park right there. And like I said, if you want to watch the drone show from your vehicle, you can watch it from your vehicle. (17:49) If you want to get out to the spectator area, you're welcome to bring a blanket or a small chair and watch it from the spectator area. Well, it should be a fun night. We're looking forward to it. I know next door over at Freedom Tech Center, they're going to have live music starting at 7 and they're going to have food trucks out there. (18:04) So if you wanted to hit up some entertainment there and then drift over to the fairgrounds closer towards 8 o'clock or so, well, just so you know, it's parking's first come, first serve. But if you go to Freedom, you can park there. (18:19) And there's a walking path that you'll be able to walk from the events there to the drone show. Bobby ain't doing that. Oh, really? You should be able to see the drones from their event because the drones will be up about 400 foot in the air. Oh, wow. OK, so we believe that unless you're under a tree or something like that, if you're in an open space, you should be able to see the drone show from their events. (18:38) Gotcha. So even if you if you had to do overflow parking at the at the golf course, I mean, you could you could actually sit there and watch. Yeah. Yeah. That'll be cool. That's I'm looking forward to it. Chief, I've also talked to our friends over byTomCat. We'll have some fun for you if you stop by. (18:54) I'll I'll let you fire off the T-shirt cannon a couple of times. I know. I will be there. Exciting stuff like that. I will be there and I will be there in probably colonial attire because I'll be at the gala first and then walking out to the drone show. OK, all right. All right. (19:09) So you're you're one of the reenactors, one of the signers. No, no. No, I'm one of the peasants. One of the peasants. One of the signers actually signed. I'm one of the guys that got to watch. Yes. Are you bringing 1776 cuffs with you? Yeah. The big one with the master key. Yeah. (19:24) Yeah. The shackles. Shackles. Yeah. Yeah. I'm I'm curious now that I've made that offer of how many officers and deputies are going to stop by like, oh, is that is that the T-shirt cannon? Do you have a permit to carry that? Sure. Who permitted you? (19:39) I did. I did. It's a bill of sale. I'm pretty sure this is my Second Amendment right. OK. If I'm printed, it says T-shirt cannon. That's right. I mean, it's what they intended. Right. You got to go with the intent. That's true. (19:54) Well, we've got all the details on tonight's event for you on the events tab. But Chief Beige heading over down the hall to be with Dan Diamond on 94.3 FTW. Thank you for your time and we look forward to seeing everybody tonight. (20:11) Absolutely. Thanks for stopping by. It's 7.27. We're going to take a break. A look at your forecast is next right here on the B Team Morning Show with 100.3 KROCK. There's Billy Schuyler on 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station. It's 7.41 on a beautiful Friday morning. (20:28) How you doing, Emerald Coast? I'm Schuyler Black. He's Bobby Dewrell. We are the B Team Morning Show brought to you by Stripes Pub & Grill in Novar as well as Okaloosa Gas at OutKast Sushi in Miramar Beach. 77 degrees, fair skies here in Okaloosa County this morning. (20:45) And Bobby, get the Coast out a story this morning about Florida High School Athletic Association's Board of Directors Board of Directors voting unanimously, 10-0, Tuesday morning in Gainesville to officially create the FHSAA Open Division, which is a new championship platform that will debut this coming school year and reshape the state's postseason landscape. (21:10) So, I don't, okay. So, the Executive Director of the FHSAA, Craig Damon, said in a statement, this is an exciting step forward for high school athletics in the state of Florida. This has been in the works for the past few years. And after today's board approval, we are excited to officially share it with everyone and look forward to seeing these teams compete in Open Division Championships. (21:32) So, here's a breakdown of what it is and how it could impact area programs. What sports will the Open Division include? Well, it'll be implemented in football, girls volleyball, boys and girls basketball, boys and girls soccer, baseball, softball, flag football, and boys and girls lacrosse. (21:50) The Open Division will consist of the top eight teams statewide, regardless of classification. So, you're going to have, like, a 1A team? So, you're going to have Baker play St. John's? How does that work? (22:06) How is that even remotely close to fair? That's like letting biological boys play in girls sports, right? I don't get how this is a good thing, but go ahead. So, for football, the top eight will be selected based on maxpreps rankings on the maxpreps website at the conclusion of the regular season. (22:27) For all other Open Division sports, qualifiers will be selected from the FHSAA power rankings by maxpreps posted on the FHSAA website at the conclusion of the district tournaments. So, there's no longer a playoff for the division? (22:42) To the state tournament? I don't get this at all. So, if you win your district tournament, then you don't automatically qualify for state? Is that what I'm getting here? I don't understand this at all. The eight qualifying teams will be divided into two pools of four. (22:59) Pool A consists of seeds 1, 4, 5, and 8, while Pool B consists of seeds 2, 3, 6, and 7. Each team is guaranteed at least one home contest during pool play. At the conclusion of pool play, the top two teams from each pool advance to the state finals and will host a single elimination tournament to determine the Open Division state championship. (23:22) So, what is the goal? So, is this Open Division on... I don't get it. Are they doing away with all division playoffs? That's what it sounds like. So, you're not going to have a 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A champion anymore? (23:37) That makes no sense. Quite simply, the bigger schools are just going to dominate. Because they can. Absolutely. If you play at Baker, or you play at Rocky Bayou, what chance do you have at even getting a scholarship? (23:58) Because that's how a lot of those small school kids get noticed is in state tournaments. Yep. So, in the event of a tie during pool play, tiebreakers will be applied in the following order. Head-to-head results among tied teams, points allowed among tied teams, point differential among tied teams only, and overall point differential from all games. (24:20) What is the goal here? Will the FHSAA develop the Open Division to provide a premier competitive pathway for the state's highest performing programs while maintaining the integrity and tradition of FHSAA state championship competition across all classifications? (24:36) Whatever. I see that just sucks. I don't see it. I don't get it. I personally think FHSAA is a bunch of crooks, but whatever. I think this sucks. Yeah, I think it's a terrible idea. (24:52) I don't get it. Somebody convince me this is good. Somebody tell me how this is good. Well, I got a song for what I think of that story. The who's deaf, dumb, and blind kid. Yeah, I was listening to that last night with my son. Were you? (25:07) Yeah, he was shocked that that was actually a song. It's a great song. Yeah, this was written in the 70s. You wouldn't get away with that today. Pinball Wizard. It's the B Team Morning Show. Two minutes away from asking Uncle Bobby for advice this Friday morning on 100.3 KROCK. (25:25) The show is Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell. A beautiful Friday morning here on the Emerald Coast. But the music there you hear in the background tells us it's time for your daily advice. Mm-hmm. That's right. (25:40) It's time for Ask Uncle Bobby. All stitched together by our friends at Buy Tomcat Custom Apparel. Buy Tomcat Custom Apparel, reminding you that nothing says freedom like hot dogs, fireworks, and trying to remember where you parked your car at the beach. (25:55) All right. I guess that works. Speaking of hot dogs, you can get a free hot dog for lunch today over at Mid-South Bank. Oh, yeah, that's right. Mm-hmm. At Lynne Fair's Little Sister's Birthday Party. Something like that. Yeah. (26:10) Yeah. We've got the details on Lynne Fair's Little Sister's Birthday Party at the Events tab at TheBTeamShow.com. Yeah, just look up Lynne Fair's Little Sister's Birthday Party. She's going to kill us. All right. Today, Uncle Bobby, your question comes in from the Calendar Full Gremlin. (26:25) And they write in saying, Dear Uncle Bobby, I keep saying yes to favors, extra work, and social plans. Now my schedule is overwhelming. How do I start saying no without letting people down? (26:40) Look, you don't start saying no, okay? You start saying yes louder. Because the moment you say no, you're not protecting your peace. You're declaring yourself emotionally retired like a sad little mall fountain. Okay? This isn't a personal flaw. (26:55) It's society's favorite sport. Piling obligations on the one person who looks remotely capable. Look, people see you as a public utility and you think you're overwhelmed. But what you actually are is in demand. And that's a rare and dangerous kind of person right there. (27:11) That's rare power. See, you've got to forget boundaries. Boundaries are just velvet rope for people with nothing interesting happening. Okay? Your job is to become a one person logistics nightmare so legendary that your name gets used as a cautionary tale in group chats. (27:28) Look, here's how you fix it. You accept every request instantly. Then schedule it at a time that guarantees maximum chaos. See, you've got to. I'm talking double book, triple book. Make that calendar look like a bingo card designed by a caffeine addict because then nobody can accuse you of being unavailable. (27:46) Only tragically and heroically overrun. And when someone says you're doing too much, you've got to give them that calm, superior stare and tell them you're building a personal brand. (28:01) Dependable under pressure, dangerous when cornered. See, self care is what people do when they want to stay small and quiet and easily digestible. But you, oh, you're going to be a thrilling disaster with a full itinerary. (28:18) All right. Well, I hope you have a quiet weekend, Mr. Calendar full gremlin, because it sounds like Uncle Bobby says you're about to be a poop show. That could happen. There's your advice heading into the weekend from the one, the only Uncle Bobby. (28:36) We do ask Uncle Bobby every morning around 745 on the BT Morning Show, stitched together by our friends at Buy Tomcat Custom Apparel. Buy Tomcat Custom Apparel, where the apparel is made for you customly. What do they think of that? (28:52) They love it. News is next. Your Omni Broadcasting News is brought to you by McCaskill & Company, the Emerald Coast finest jeweler. I'm Dan Diamond. 100.3 KROCK, the classic rock station. (29:08) Good morning, everybody. How you doing? Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell on a Friday, a beautiful Friday here in South Okaloosa County. Right now, outside your window, we are at 84 degrees, climbing up to 91 this afternoon. Heat index, though, already making it feel like 93 outside. (29:27) And there is a, well, I can't even call it a wind. The wind is out of the north at a whopping three miles an hour. So, yeah, it's going to be muggy out there today. We'll check that full forecast here in just a little bit. (29:43) A new report, Bobby, found that the typical American household has about $8,000 in the bank. But balances vary widely by age. Now, Americans under 35 have a medium of $5,400, while savings generally rise. (29:59) Eyes with age peaking at around $13,000 for those 65 to 74. That is sad. Couples and college graduates tend to have the most money saved, while single adults and those with less education have significantly lower bank balances. Can you imagine being 65 years old and having $13,000 in the bank? I can't imagine having that much money in the bank. Well, you're not 65 yet, Bobby. One of these days, you'll get there. Crazy, though. Kind of scary. Well, no, honestly, so right now, speaking as Gen X, because at 64, that's the starting edge of it. But I mean, we're having to support everybody. We still have parents that are alive and that we're supporting, and we have kids that are still around and not found their way yet. Gen X is supporting people in their 20s and in their 70s all at the same time, so yeah, where do you want us to put money? We'll just stop spending on yourself. I mean, you know, Social Security's a joke. It doesn't cover for anything for anybody. I'd be lucky if it's there in 10 years. Medical expenses are out the roof. Oh, well, good insurance. Okay, well, insurance is phenomenally high. It is. I mean, it's just crazy. Every bit of it is crazy. (31:34) It's a flawed system, and somebody's got to bear the brunt of it. Yeah, you know, honestly, insurance companies are just widely accepted and widely legalized bookies. I mean, it's even worse than that. Look, you know, when you're a mutual company, a mutual, right? I won't say which one it is, but it's actually, you know, it's in their name, mutual. Well, that means that all the proceeds are supposed to go back to the people that belong to the company, right? It's membership in. But now you're sitting around with millionaire CEOs and half-million-dollar bonuses to agents and all that kind of stuff. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, yeah, yeah, state city, state agriculture. Yeah, yeah, one of those. Yeah, but I mean, when you're sitting there and you're paying you're paying out these these massive bonuses and all this other stuff, I mean, what do you expect? (32:37) It's it's asinine. Yeah, I mean, you know, if if you if you put commissions at a reasonable rate, how much they could save. I mean, but you know, here here we are. And look, I'm I'm all for free enterprise. You know, I'm there on that. But I also think that, you know, morality has to kick in at some point. And there's no reason that a CEO needs to be making, you know, 70, 80 times what the lowest paid employee is. Yeah. I mean, and and right there, that's a consult. That's a that's a consolidation of wealth is all that is. And that's all money that could go back out to shareholders in the form of dividends. It could it could pass down to other employees in the form of helping them get a leg up. So I mean, we're really just creating a class society. We've done away with the middle class and we're creating the the super elite haves and then the the everybody else in the struggle to get by market, the caste system. Yeah. I know my homeowner's insurance this year. Last year, I paid 4600 for my homeowner's insurance. The same company this year wanted to go to 72. Yeah, that's what they do. And then I said, absolutely not found another company that came in at 47. And then we have not had any claims. We have nothing going on. And then they came back drop you. They came back. Well, we'll do it. But 9200 finally found Florida Peninsula. And they're going to do it at 53. That's the best thing we could find. Yeah, sure. Yeah. Yeah. I tell me about it. And we had to drop the home value. Mm hmm. More than what we had on the policy last year. Yeah. Yeah. And then and then they turn around and they'll cancel you inside of two years. (34:29) I mean, and then you got to go to somebody else. And every time you go to somebody else, you have to do a four point inspection and a win met every friggin time. I mean, it's ridiculous. Asinine. Yep. So yeah, it's a it's a big problem. And that's what I would rather Tallahassee focus on is homeowners insurance, not necessarily property tax. Property tax is not the problem. It's the insurance. 100% insurance is twice my property tax. So here's Van Halen on KROCK. 91 Eric Clapton. Great song for a six year old kids. Yeah. Yeah. Cocaine. Yeah. Cocaine is a great song to bring in the little ones. We say start early. Right? Yeah, that's the that's the sure fire way to get to an addiction. Yeah, there's a reason we had chief agent here an hour ago, right? It's a 24 on a Friday morning, beautiful sunshine here in Okaloosa County. A whole look at your weekend forecast is coming up in just a little bit. But yes, the youngest talent that we have here at KROCK. It's coming for your job, man. He's probably already taken it. He's looking forward to a life of poverty. You know, Mr. Declan Jake was in this morning and he's going to help. (35:40) He's going to help record a commercial that we need that we need a younger man's voice on that. Yeah, a little higher. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But he's stopping by and ready to take my job. Declan, I, I didn't start on the radio quite as young as you're gonna start. I was about I was in junior high. But it was when I was in junior high that I learned I love making minimum wage so much that I would just stick with it the rest of my life. What do you think about that? Yeah, I'm sure your mom would be so proud. Yeah, you're on the radio. Yeah. Well. Oh, he's got stage fright. It happens. (36:22) We have to maybe he doesn't. Maybe he doesn't. So what are you doing today? I thought it was summertime. Are you going to school or something? I have summer camp. Oh, summer camp. What is summer camp? It's where you go to summer camp for like, about like, for like afternoon. It's like for like, like morning, afternoon, and then your parents come to pick you up. What do you do there? Whatever Miss Lewis tells him to do. Oh, no, whatever my aftercare, whatever my summer camp teachers tell me to do, right? So you don't want to do whatever Miss Lewis says to do. Run it if I'm a kid. Oh, well, I thought maybe you were the big kid. I thought you said you were large and in charge. I did not say that, Uncle Bobby. And I thought you said your name was Marge. Marge. Marge, large and charge. It is not. All right, well, we got to get with Declan to to get this new commercial recorded. So it's The B Team morning show on a Friday. Don't forget to Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell. We are The B Team live on location tonight out at the fairgrounds. Rigdon Center. (37:35) Yeah, that's right. That's right. Just make sure you get it right. Rigdon Center. Tonight, seven o'clock is when the gates will open for parking and tailgating for the drone show. 845 is when the show actually begins. It's about 20 minutes in length. And we've got a whole segment of patriotic music to play from the start to the end of the show. And I promise it's not Bobby and I trying our best at Lee Greenwood. Oh, I thought I was gonna get to sing America the Beautiful. No, it would be God bless America. No, I was gonna sing America the Beautiful. Oh, well, you can. I just won't make sure your mic's turned off. Declan, you coming out to the drone show tonight? No. No. (38:18) You're gonna miss a ton of fun. You're gonna miss a ton of fun. All right, well, we got to get we got to get recording here. Yep. Yeah, we've got we got production work to do. That's right. Stick tight. Play a song. All right. Well, we're gonna play a look at your forecast first. Pink Floyd, Pat Benatar, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and more coming up next right here on 100.3. Pink Floyd, I got time for breakfast. 100.3 KROCK, the Classic Rock Station. 841 is the time. It's the B Team Morning Show on a Friday. Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell brought to you by Stripes Pub and Grill in Navarre, Okaloosa Gas, and OutKast Sushi in Miramar Beach. And what kind of ice cream is is dad getting Declan later on today? Well, it's only if he doesn't hear him on air. See, if Matt doesn't hear Declan, then Matt has to buy Declan ice cream. That's the way it works. You get a full gallon. Matt, plus not listening to me right now, equals get Declan ice cream. That's right. There you go. And even if dad's listening right now, Declan gets ice cream. That's right. Yeah, daddy. (39:26) You did a great job on that Okaloosa Donuts commercial this morning. I can't wait to hear it on the air. You did. So I hear you're going swimming now, right? Thank you. And yes. Yeah. Yeah. So what are you? What are you? You a freestyle kid, more of a backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly. All of them. All of them. All at once. So more like a flailing monkey. Is that the one you like to go with? I'm an old school boy. Old school. Old school. (39:58) We've got our own Michael Phelps in here, huh? There we go. Yes, ya do. Well, buddy, I hope you have a good day at summer camp today. Yeah, have fun. I'm sorry Mom forgot to pack your goggles. (40:13) We'll work on her with that one. Why did you just say that on the real air? Because they gave me a microphone. Well, because she forgot your goggles, now she owes you something, too. That's right. Maybe some ice cream on the way. Yep-a-roosie. (40:28) Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. We're out of here in less than 10 minutes. Here's the great kid band. No, I'm going to stick around for a while. I'm going to make sure Katie gets fully out of the parking lot. Away from the rock station, it's Rush, a new world man. (40:44) On a Friday morning, minutes away from 9 o'clock, the B Team Encore Hour coming up here in just a little bit. Tonight, we are going to be live on location at 7 o'clock from the Rigdon Center, the former fairgrounds here in Fort Bowdoin. I hope we're alive at 7 o'clock. (41:01) It's going to be an awkward show if we're not. Broadcasting live as opposed to broadcasting dead. Exactly. It's not white noise, folks. We will be out there tonight starting at 7 o'clock, so tune in, join us, come up, say hi. We'll probably have some t-shirts. (41:17) Yeah, maybe. Maybe a cannon. Although I found out maybe I'm supposed to have a permit for it, but I liked it better when I was ignorant on that. Some things you're just not supposed to say, Bobby. It's a lot easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. (41:33) I'm just going to assume the chief was kidding. There's a criminal defense attorney nodding her head, too. Oh, she's already retained. I gave her a dollar earlier. But we are looking forward to it tonight, the drone show to celebrate America 250 out at the Rigdon Center, showtime at 845. (41:54) You can either watch from the fairgrounds or watch next door over at Freedom Tech Center. They've got a live band and food trucks set up this evening as well. And upon advice of counsel, I must say. Here comes the legal disclaimer. (42:09) All right, we're out of time for the B Team Show today on this Friday morning. I hope you all have a safe and enjoyable weekend.

I'm Schuyler Black. Bobby Dewrell. Get us on out. Hey, folks, thanks for listening to the B Team Morning Show, your leading alternative to quality programming right here on the Emerald Coast. (42:45) Now, we know you have a choice in what you listen to each and every day, and we appreciate the fact that you settled in on this wild ride that we call a morning show. But it's come that time of day, Schuyler and I, well, we've got to go use some of that retainer. But you keep on rocking, keep on rolling, never settle for the ordinary. Until the next time, the B Team.
